Embezzlement Charges

White Collar Crimes Defense in Riverside

Embezzlement is one of many types of
white collar crimes that can result in severe penalties. This type of offense is often referred
to as an employee theft, as the majority of these crimes occur between
employees and their employers but could also occur between two spouses
or in any case where funds are being transferred from one person to another.
By definition, embezzlement is the act of taking or withholding money
or other assets for personal gain. If you have been arrested, you need
to contact the firm right away to ensure that you receive outstanding
legal representation for your case.

Understanding the Charges

Under California Penal Code 503 PC, embezzlement is considered a form of
theft, which means conviction for this crime could lead to harsh sentencing.
In order to prove that you are guilty of embezzling funds, the prosecution
must show that you had a relationship with the alleged victim and that
you specifically and knowingly received funds in a fraudulent manner.
It must also be proved that you were trusted to handle money or assets
of the victims. These charges are incredibly serious and prosecutors will
work hard to pursue conviction; therefore, your future depends on the
strength and experience of your defense team.
